The reactivation of the Santa Clara Sugar Mill began with the startup of its refining unit, located in the Veroes municipality, Yaracuy state. This first stage makes it possible to process domestic and imported raw sugar and turn it into refined white sugar for the domestic market.
The unit initially processes 600 tons per day and has an installed capacity of more than 200,000 tons per year. The latter figure reflects the plant's technical potential, not its actual output in 2026.
During the recovery, boilers, on-site power generation systems and equipment needed to incorporate natural gas as an energy source were rehabilitated.
